Review: Kissing The Maid of Honor

Kissing The Maid of Honor by Robin Bielman

I was getting ready to go to a rehearsal dinner when I found this book on a facebook group I am a part of. Now this wedding I was attending was huge, the kind of wedding that most of us think only happens in movies. The rehearsal dinner alone would have cost me a years salary. The groom is my husband's cousin, and his side of the family rented an entire ranch for us to stay at. I had a whole weekend to relax and enjoy it, sitting poolside and staring out at the rolling hills.  On this lovely weekend, I read this fun and perfectly fitting book.

It was a beautiful wedding weekend both on and off the page.

This book was sweet. Oh the troubles of high school crushes gone wrong. Being a woman who married the man that she kissed as a teenager (and it went terribly wrong), I can relate to this character. (This kiss, no joke, was why my now husband and I didn't get together then as opposed to nearly ten years later) I totally related. I loved how authentic this author wrote this fun little scenario.

Sela and Luke are characters that I instantly wanted to root for. I particularly LOVED seeing them take care of one another. To me, there is nothing more beautiful in a relationship that nurturing, and Bielman wrote it beautifully and truthfully.

The only problem is I found myself wanting more. I found myself in a few scenes saying "Wait, that's it? Tell me more! Tell me more!" This book could have been at least fifty to a hundred more pages in length and I would have been satisfied.

However, what she did include in this book was great. Fun and excited especially since I was so lucky to read it while relaxing on a ranch during a big crazy wedding weekend.

I recommend this book for anyone looking for a nice romance novel.

Cheers!
